There is no reason we can't gaze
Up to heaven and give praise
Just lift our eyes and say thanks
Like putting money in the bank
Even if your deaf and blind
Creator sees what's in your mind
When our thoughts turn heavens way
Words in our mind He will replay
Instead of grumbling feeling down
Speak to Him He'll change our frown
Think of time spent on wasted thoughts
That have no value, return is nought
When they could be used for enlightenment
That will make our idle time well spent
There is no reason we can't gaze
Up to heaven and give praise
Just lift our eyes and say thanks
Like putting money in the bank

The second stanza, which is also the closing strophe... Unless it makes reference to MAMMON, - the one referred (MISGUIDING) and printed on the dollar bill/coin - I can't see how its imagery can fit in the body of this poem, "Money In The Bank".
Whatever it is or was the intention I think that the author should consider re-setting this poem.
An stimulating, striking, and inspiring composition.
I salute You, Poet!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D
Continue to keep daddy in your prayers; and pray I don't fall anymore (already fell before on the way home from breakfast--I am going to feel it tomorrow---it's icy here; I found it...LOL)
Beautifully penned tribute to our Creator; He is worthy of all praise. Well done!
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
Take care,

Creator sees what's in your mind
I'm sure He does, Tiger Lily, and I wish many more could see and hear, as you do.
Store your treasures up in heaven, where rust can't corrupt, nor the moth devour !
